U. S. Nuclear Regulatory c<YL@FC M Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Re: Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, et al.

(Sterling Power Project, Nuclear Unit No l F

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

On January 23, 1980, the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment for the Sterling Power Project, Nuclear Unit No. 1, met in open session and voted 4-1 to rescind its prior approval of construction and operation of the Sterling nuclear plant. The Siting Board announced that it would render a formal opinion, but no definite date was set for its issuance.

Until Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation and the co-owners of Sterling have received the formal opinion and have had an opportunity to review it, no final decision on the con-tinuation of pending proceedings before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can be made. When a decision has been made, you will be notified as soon us possible.

Very truly yours, .

W fl.
